Saint Basil´s Cathedral

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed (Собор Василия Блаженного), commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a church in Red Square in Moscow. Built in the 16th century to commemorate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan, the building is shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no parallel in Russian architecture.
